McLaughlin Recovering From Serious Illness The many Taylor County friends of Col. McLaughlin will be glad to learn that his condition is not so serious as at first supposed to be. He has been suffering a week from an attack of appendicitis, for which it has been decided that an operation would not be necessary. The circumstances of his illness was related by the Enquirer-Sun in the following account Thursday: “Mr. McLaughlin had been on a business trip to Atlanta, having returned to Greenville Sunday to spend a day or two with his father there. He was stricken during the night of Sunday and his condition was thought to be quite serious. Mrs. McLaughlin was notified of his illness, being told that physicians of Greenville were of the opinion that if he were not operated on at once he would not recover. He was taken to Atlanta early Monday morning and upon his arrival there it was ascertained that his condition was not as critical as was at first believed and that it would not be necessary to perform an operation at this time. Mrs. McLaughlin left for Columbus for Atlanta Monday afternoon.” This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.8 Kb
